Having won a gold medal in the recent Glasgow Commonwealth Games, ace shuttler Parupalli Kashyap is keen on repeating his superb show in the upcoming Asian Games in Incheon, Korea from September 19 to October 4.
"I want to win a medal. I don't expect anything. I am going to prepare very well. I will try and win a medal. These two weeks are crucial for me," he told PTI here.
The Indian shuttlers are likely to leave for the sporting extravaganza in the middle of this month.
Kashyap, whose campaign ended in the first round in the World Championship recently, said he would leave it to national coach Pullela Gopichand to point out his mistakes and train him.
"I am trying to improve upon certain aspects of the game. I am sure Gopi (Pullela Gopichand) sir can explain you better on what he is thinking. I completely leave it to him to think about my mistakes and train me. My duty is to go and perform. My duty is not thinking too much about coaching. That's his job," he said.
Kashyap is currently ranked world number 28 in BWF men's singles.
